18. Well, this scenario will never happen, but Canada is actually going to aid the Big 3

Canada *seems* to be more willing to provide proportional aid to the Big 3 than the US. The automakers are requesting $6 to $7.2 billion from the Canadian government.

"The Conservatives are unlikely to face opposition to an auto bailout from the three parties that sought to unseat Prime Minister Stephen Harper this week. The Liberals and New Democrats - supported by the Bloc Quebecois - had pledged to provide assistance to the manufacturing sector, including the auto industry, if their coalition had succeeded."
